Implementing an effective wellness program in law enforcement organizations requires more than just checking a box. While many programs focus only on periodic check-ins, developing a comprehensive approach to mental health provides agencies with a more robust blueprint for employee's resiliency and wellbeing. This presentation will describe two police departments’ burgeoning Wellness Programs, how they were developed, the variety of services offered, and the importance of a successful partnership between command personnel, the employee's served, and the psychologists serving their agencies.
